SEASIDE PARK

The Seaside Park sits at the edge of the Atlantic coastal marsh in the heart of town. It is an ideal location to show the beauty, ecological benefits, and economic advantages of using Eastern Shore native plants. It also provides a focal point for community activities such as town picnics. The gardens are maintained by proud Wachapreague Town volunteers.

The Nature Conservancy bird and wildlife observation station

There is no better place to observe birds and wildlife than from this observation station, located on the southern waterfront of Wachapreague, owned by The Nature Conservancy.  Very often you will see photographers and artist capturing views of sunrise, birding, and coastal scenic vista from this location.
